My friend, Brandon, took me up for a ride in an airplane – he was the pilot. The plane was a sweet Cessna 172 that his former flight instructor hires out. I was really surprised how tight these planes are, but somehow I managed to get my long lens to work in the tight space. Gear: Canon EOS Rebel T3i DSLR Camera, Tamron 70mm-200mm f/2.8 lens.
